 From speaking to Mike at CRX this year, the copyrights that he 
purchased came with contractual royalty strings attached.  So when 
somebody throws up a kickstarter or whatever showing a commercial 
product with C=/Amiga ROMs built in, he gets nastygrams from them saying 
"Why aren't you pursuing this?  I should be getting a cut!"  That's 
likely the source of selectiveness for where Cloanto choses to pursue.
